Updated MapBox Streets Terrain Layer

We just rolled out an update to the MapBox Streets Terrain Layer that adds landcover coloring with global coverage. This new landcover information, which comes from a raster source, replaces much of the large area OpenStreetMap vector landcover information for maps with the terrain option turned on. You can also customize all the colors.

The landcover information we’re using is GLOBCOVER, produced by the European Space Agency. It has been colored to combine well with the hillshading and fit with the overall MapBox Streets design.

Custom styles for terrain

Like all MapBox Street maps, you can change the styles on all the layers.
